pacifist, concerned about environmental protection, believes in aid for foreign countries, and women's rights. His voice is provided by Mike Judge. He has a beard, long hair, and wears a peace sign T-shirt and flip-flops. In the 2022 revival, he wears a white T-shirt and green jacket. He generally speaks in a soft, gentle voice, encourages his students to get in touch with their feelings, and often plays folk songs on his guitar. He generally expresses a sincere regard for his responsibilities as a teacher and for his social ideals, although in Time Machine, he neglects his class in order to hit on an attractive woman. He has a habit of ending nearly every sentence with "M'kay?" (the M'kay predicate would later be used in South Park, made by ViacomCBS's other subsidiary Comedy Central). Van Driessen has had many near-death experiences during the course of the show (often, as a direct result of Beavis and Butt-Head's actions). Most of the teachers at Highland High School despise Beavis and Butt-Head, but Van Driessen sympathizes with them and believes them to be somehow capable of salvation except in Cleaning House where he finally lost his patience by wanting to kill the duo after they wrecked his 8-track tape collection.

All his colleagues celebrate with a party. School Nurse - A heavy-set woman with thick glasses, a mole on her chin, and a traditional nursing dress and cap, she provides medical attention to Beavis and Butt-head, such as when the duo get head lice (Head Lice), and when Beavis severs his finger in wood shop (Woodshop). A character of similar appearance and voice appears as a worker at an animal shelter who waives the $50 adoption fee for B&B to take a stray dog because of the dog's aggressive behavior (Bad Dog). In Temporary Insanity and Whiplash, a character of very similar appearance and voice appears as Beavis and Butt-head's school bus driver. Janitor/Crazy Farmer (voiced by Kristofor Brown) - Shown in different contexts; besides Highland High, he is once shown as the janitor at the local mall who calls
